This study examines the role of operational excellence dimensions—namely Health and Safety, Assets and Process Reliabil-ity, Operational Efficiency, and Environmental Performance—in enhancing the efficiency of the oil and gas supply chain due to diagnosing a gap in existing research on the relationship between these dimensions. The study was conducted at the North Oil Company specifically the departments related to the current study, which included four departments, namely (Pe-troleum Engineering Department, Drilling Department, Lines Department, and Production Department). The study data was collected through personal interviews with the department managers, assistant department managers, division managers, and engineers working in the departments related to the study to gain insight into the company’s operations. Additionally, 31 questionnaires were distributed across relevant departments. The data were analyzed using SPSS software to identify corre-lations, assess impact, and test the study’s hypotheses. The findings indicated significant correlations between all dimensions of operational excellence and supply chain efficien-cy, with the highest correlation (0.70**) observed between Assets and Process Reliability and supply chain efficiency. Sig-nificant impact relationships were also observed. The study recommends enhancing the operational excellence dimensions to sustainably improve supply chain efficiency in the oil and gas sector, a fundamental pillar of the Iraqi economy.

As a result of intensifying competition between transportation companies and an attempt to reduce costs, deliver on time, maintain products quality and maintain high flexibility in transportation, it has become imperative for transportation companies to go toward using modern technology, including the Internet of things that may ensure achieving competitive capabilities of companies and continue to remain in the market. The study aims to determine the role of the Internet of things in achieving the competitive capabilities (cost, quality, time, flexibility) and priorities of transportation companies and highlighting the importance of the Internet of things because the transport activity is considered as one of the important logistical activities that have a large share in the cost of products. The theoretical part has been written based on previous literature review, whereas, the practical part has been conducted by using a checklist which is distributed to 31 commodity land transportation companies operating at Ibrahim Al-Khalil International Crossing in Iraq by using the Likert triple scale and arranging the scores on the scale; (Agree, somewhat agree, disagree) with weights (2, 1, and 0) respectively. The most important conclusion reached by the current study is that the Internet of things has a significant role in achieving the competitive capabilities of transportation companies which is proved by the result of the total agreement rate up to 71%. The research presented a set of recommendations which are: The necessity of conducting more research on this topic to enrich the current study and benefit from the current study idea to improve transportation companies’ performance in general.

Jan 1, 2019

DOI 10.17512/znpcz.2019.3.01

Procurement is one of the main activities of supply chain management which plays the main role in the efficiency of the supply chain, however, this role has to be highlighted in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The objective of this paper is to clarify the contribution of procurement in supply chain risks in a special case – in the pharmaceutical supply chain in Iraq. The study was conducted in the State Company for Drug Marketing and Medical Appliances (Kimadia) by conducting interviews with the directors and using secondary data prepared by official institutions such as the Office of Financial Supervision. The main aim of choosing Kimadia as the study subject is because it is the sole supplier for government health institutions in Iraq, which have different problems like surplus, shortage and expiration. In addition, medicines and pharmaceutical supplies have a relationship to human life, therefore, any problem in supply chain activities may affect the health service. The results of the survey highlighted the present problems of the examined supply chain, and confirmed that the long and complicated procedures of procurement affect the accuracy of demand forecasting and increase the inventory risks, which create waste and reduce the efficiency of supply chain activities of the Iraqi pharmaceutical supply chain. The recommendations of the study may support forthcoming decisions of the company directors in the future.

The demand forecasting has to be precise as much as possible to avoid surplus and shortage of medicines and pharmaceutical supplies which cause several kinds of waste like inventory, over-processes, waiting and transportation. So, the main aim of this study is to figure out types of waste which can be created in pharmaceutical supply chain because of demand forecasting and lead time, and present some recommendations to improve the current situation. This study has been conducted by case study in the pharmaceutical supply chain in Diyala province-Iraq by unstructured interviews with 15 drug store and pharmacy directors, and website. The results refer to that using demand forecasting for long-term causes surplus or shortage in some types of drugs and pharmaceutical supplies because of ambiguous future after long time, especially when the security situation is unstable which cause several types of waste in supply chain such as, inventory, over-processes, waiting and transportation which affect health service and economy at the same time, also, lack of use of modern information and communication systems affect visibility, consequently, forecasting accuracy.
